"If we have to fight the Union of Northern Nobles, you don't have to worry about other sides coming in, do you, Leon?"

"Probably not. The Reinsatz family, the dominant aristocracy, is currently immobilized. The capital is too devastated. It seems that they have succeeded in driving the Memento family out of King's Landing, but it is safe to say that what they have gained from it is a hindrance."

"Well, the Memento family has been doing whatever they want in the King's Landing area. First of all, we need to restore order. I see. That's why the northern nobles have been united in resisting the Reinsatz family because they can't move."

　This year I myself was not doing anything against the foreign nobles, as I was going to the East, growing rice, and doing domestic affairs.

　However, the situation was changing quite a lot.

　First of all, it seems that the Memento family, which had ruled over the capital area until last year, was finally defeated by the Reinsatz family.

　The Reinisatz, using their influence as the hegemonic nobility, mobilized troops from other nobles and made an agreement with the Kingdom of Risorthe to launch a two-pronged campaign against the Memento family.

　It seems that their strategy was successful, and the Memento family abandoned the capital and retreated to their own lands.

　The Reinisatz would have wanted to pursue the defeated Memento army and launch an attack on Memento's territory as well.

　However, this did not happen.

　The Mementos must have known how to escape.

　Realizing their defeat, they burned much of their food as they fled the capital.

　Even though the Royal City Circle had lost its prosperity that had developed under King Dorren, it was still one of the most influential and populous areas in the region.

　They burned down all the food in the city.

　Naturally, this was a big problem for the people living there.

　The survivors of the city are asking the Reinsatz family to help them rather than to attack the Memento family.

　The Reinisatz family, as the aristocrats of supremacy, will not be able to resist such a wish.

　If they did so, they would lose their position as the hegemonic nobility that they had gained through their alliance with the royal house of Doren.

　However, the Reinsatz, who had marched to the capital area to fight the Memento family, could not possibly have enough food to fill the stomachs of the inhabitants.

　Therefore, they had to give up the pursuit altogether and order the transportation of food to the surrounding noble families and their territories.

　This would of course take time.

　Furthermore, he had to restore order in the devastated areas of the capital, protect the nobles, and take care of the stagnant economy.

　Thus, the Reinsatz family came to a complete standstill.

　The nobles who had been following the Reinisatz were not ready to pursue the Memento family alone.

　Even though they were defeated, they were still a great noble family and powerful.

　Besides, the expense of helping the Reinsatz family to arrange for the food they would require would not be unreasonable.

　Therefore, while the noble families close to Memento Territory made their own moves, the other nobles began to wait and see, or to return with their armies.

　The Kingdom of Resolute in the south seems to have been satisfied with some territory carved out of Memento territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Kingdom of Rizolute was not without the influence of the defeat against the League of Three Nobles, which had reduced its power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And after the independence of the kingdom, it entered into a war with the Reinsatz family and used its power there as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why the Kingdom of Risorthe invaded Memento Territory was because the main forces of Memento's army were in the royal capital area, and they probably decided that there was no need to fight any more if the main forces had returned to Memento Territory.

　Thus, although the Reinisatz family has now demonstrated its power as a hegemonic aristocrat and won a victory over the Memento family, they are now saddled with a heavy debt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Memento family will not make any immediate moves due to their defeat in the capital region.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Kingdom of Risorthe is also satisfied with its territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that no other major power will make a move.

　That was one of the reasons why they did not refuse Wagner's request for help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they face the Northern Noble Confederacy with their army, no other help will come in response.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The promise made in the past to the Reinsatz family was also one of non-interference as long as the Memento family was driven out of the royal sphere.

　In other words, the non-aggression pact has expired as long as the Memento family has left the royal sphere.

"It was reported that the Northern Noble Federation collected about 80,000 this time, is that correct?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The Cicilian army is about 3,000. I heard that the Fontana army that came to our aid was about 15,000. I'm sure Mr. Ars has his own ideas, but I'm afraid the difference in numbers is too great.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. In pure numbers alone, we may be at a disadvantage. But this time Fontana's army has new strength. With them, I think we could have a good chance to win.

"A new force?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He probably wanted to solve the problem on his own, without asking for help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there were too many of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He probably came to ask for help, thinking that he owed them a debt rather than being stubborn and getting annihilated.

　They should have taken care of the problem by themselves since they were in the position of a frontier count.

　Gran is there, and they have valuable materials and important research.

　It would be bad for us to abandon the Xillia family and cause damage there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why we have decided to fight against the overwhelming numbers of the Northern Noble Federation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
